cover.
»Humimeter SLW with probe:
Remove the rubber protection
from the top of the housing (fig-
ure1and2).
»Humimeter SLW with Hand electrode holder:
Disconnect it (see "4.3.2 Disconnecting the hand elec-
trode holder") before you pull the rubber protection off

3.4 Inserting the measuring tips
• Unscrew the two nuts located on the
measuring head (figure 6) counterclock-
wise.
»Loosen only the upper nuts. The botto
nuts must not be loosened!
• Insert one measuring tip per nut from
behind through the nut (figure 7).
»Measuring tips without insulation (article no. 12521) always
measure the wettest spot across the entire insertion depth.
»By using insulated measuring tips (article no. 11482) it is
possible to determine humidity at a defined measuring depth, as
these only measure at the measuring tip.
• Now screw the nuts with measuring tips to the threads located
on the measuring head and tighten the nuts by hand (figure 8).
WARNING

5. The measuring process
5.1 Taking a measurement
To do so: Let your device adjust to the surrounding tem-
perature before the measurement.
• Hold the device in one hand and insert the measur-
ing/electrode tips into the material (figure 19) or
press the surface electrode onto the material to be
measured (figure 20).
»Make sure that the sample is not damaged by the
measuring/electrode tips..
»Do not drop the device!
• The device will now instantly display the moisture
content on the display (figure 21).
»The displayed value flashes when the moisture
content exceeds the measuring range of the
selected product type (figure 22). A flashing value
signals the end of the measuring range. The meas-
uring range is dependent on the product type (see
"6. Product types").
»Once the reading has been taken, it can be saved
on the device (see "5.3 Saving individual readings"
or "5.4 Saving several readings (a measurement
series) at the same time").
WARNING
Risk of injury
Risk of injury due to the Mess-/Elektrodenspitzen
►Keep the Mess-/Elektroden tips away from your body throughout all activi-
ties.
►Keep the Mess-/Elektroden tips away from other people throughout all
activities.
iInformation - Measuring accuracy
This rapid and non-destructive measuring procedure allows you to take
moisture readings at a number of different points. When saving the individual
readings, the device will automatically calculate the readings’ average (see "5.4
Saving several readings (a measurement series) at the same time").
